Description
Males of the species have pale-yellow to yellow-white foreheads, and pink breasts. Both males and females have an easily discernible white line around and proximate to their eyes. Common bronzewings also have patches of red, blue and green on their wings, a feature which is characteristic of all bronzewing pigeons. Young birds are usually duller in colour and browner than the mature common bronzewing. Rarely found far from a source of water, common bronzewings either travel alone or in pairs or in flocks, and are usually cautious, making approach by humans or other animals difficult. Common bronzewings are, on average, between 30 and 36 centimetres (12–14 in) in length.

Feeding Habits
Common Bronzewing, a granivorous bird, predominantly consumes seeds and various vegetables. It forages in small flocks, displaying persistence as the search may extend for days. Requires regular access to water, relying on available watering sites.
Habitat
The habitat of common Bronzewing spans a range of wooded environments, excluding only the densest and wettest rainforests. They are a common sight in coastal heaths, arid scrublands such as mulga and mallee, and various types of sclerophyll forests. They can also be found in saltbush plains and open grasslands where trees and shrubs are present. Adaptably, common Bronzewing utilizes modified habitats, including farmlands, gardens, and roadside areas.
